    Activity :Space and Aliens

    There are some elements of the Space and Aliens set that I would use with a combination of other ideas

    I would Introduce the children to the concept of life in space, focusing on astronauts, space habitats, and what living in space is like through engaging and age-appropriate activities. Starting with a simple question: “Who knows what an astronaut is?” and Can you name an astronaut? These will somehow always  involve Buzz Lightyear.

    We would then look at images or a short video of astronauts working in space to capture their attention and explain that astronauts are people who travel and live in space to learn more about it. The children would be introduced to Chris Hadfield videos like the one below

    This would give them an insight into life in space. The children would engage in activities based on videos from Chris Hadfield eg  create your own astronaut using pictures of items needed in space.
